batch script to save images to specified folders

I have a series of images that I'm needing to process, save to folders, then process again and save to other folders. The original images are in eight folders, pictures/1, pictures/2, and so on. I need to crop these and save them as JPEGs to pictures2/1, pictures2/2, etc., and then take the cropped images and shrink them to 200 pixels wide (keeping the height proportional). I want to save those as JPEGs to pictures2/1/thumbnails, etc. I've got two sets of actions set up to do those, but it won't save them nested like that without having to run it multiple times. Anyone have a script that would do this?
